There's nothing like taking exams in a subject to disrupt one's interest in it! Currently I'm going through an intense period of apathy when it comes to politics. Blogging is far from my mind. So, after some careful consideration, I have decided to suspend this blog for a while, and concentrate on the more mundane aspects of life; mainly attempting to save up some money for my impending move to London to work in Parliament for a year.

My year group is, unfortunately, going in the last year MPs are not obliged to pay their interns even a minimum wage. As I have no idea if I'll be one of the lucky ones, and get some pin money despite this, I have to assume the worst for now. And since a number of my fellow future-interns are only being given half loans by the Student Loans Company, I'll admit I'm having nightmares about my future cash situation.

So all my energy is now going to go into getting another job and selling all my worldly possessions on eBay. Blogging just can't come into it. This radio silence may last weeks, or it may last months (unless a miracle occurs and I get some big scoop of course). I'll definitely be back before joining the Westminster crowd at least. I hasten to add that, this blog certainly isn't going anywhere, but I'll understand if anyone wants to remove me from their blogroll for a while, since it's going to be inactive.

Toodle pipski folks. I'll definitely be back.
